Risa Chandler's prescient dreams of death and murder haunted her nights. They also proved invaluable for Adam Raiker's brilliant team of forensic criminologists, the Mindhunters, until a tragic end to one case shattered Risa's confidence and drove her into seclusion. But for Risa, there's no hiding from death--or from her dreams. Though skeptical, Philadelphia homicide detective Nate McGuire enlists Risa's help in finding a serial killer who has claimed three victims. She reluctantly agrees, because she's been dreaming again--rituals by fire, charred horrors, tortured screams. But Risa's feeling something else: the focus of a stranger who's watching her just as closely, a madman with dreams of his own--dreams of making Risa his ultimate fiery sacrifice.
